Shop Favorites: Baby Bling Bows

Shop Favorites: Baby Bling Bows

I get asked quite often about the bows Elba wears and more often than not she is wearing Baby Bling Bows. They are such comfy little nylon bows for little girls! My mom and I were shopping at Nordstrom a few months back and she picked up some sweet little bows for Elba. We snagged one in olive green, ivory and grey. I also became addicted and ran back to Nordstrom and picked up an aqua blue one. I will share all colors below! These headbands are nylon material so they form to the shape of babes head and are so lightweight! She never refuses to wear them.

Baby Bling Bows was kind enough to send me several headbands in a bunch of different colors and I am obsessed with them all. I love all the vibrant, jewel tone colors as well as some of the muted color headbands! First let me give you a little insight to who is behind Baby Bling Bows: A number of local women make each one! Every bow is handmade and unique. The company was founded by a mom and a daughter and since then it just kinda took off! I love small shop success stories and I love sharing shops like this with my mommy readers. So read more about them on their website here!

Looking at their website you can see they have a huge variety of styles, my favorites are the 'knot', 'twist' and 'sailor knot'  

I received the headbands below, in order from left to right I will list the colors and include their links!

1. knot cherry: here

2. knot grape: here

3. knot pink and white dot: here

4. knot denim: here

You can also see tons of pics of her in these baby bling bows on my instagram and in most of her monthly updates ;) we are big fans as you can tell!

Make sure to check them out! They really are so sweet and they have the cutest little headbands. So comfy and lightweight for little babes. They stretch and grow with your baby's growing head too! So no sizes which makes ordering online super easy!

Knee Highs

Blogmas Day 6

Today I had class and Zack worked and went to class...

I came home and kind of relaxed.

We then went to the mall for a little bit of shopping. I ordered the Naked 3 Palette online today! Yay! I will be sure to let you know when it comes in the mail I love all of the eyeshadows in the palette so I am sure it will be my new go-to make up item.

At the mall Zack ate dinner...if that's what you want to call it. He got Wetzels Pretzels and Dip n' Dots...Dinner right? I think he deserves a break having to eat gluten free because of me all of the time ;)

Well I bought a cute sweater and two pairs of knee high socks. I love oversized sweaters with knee high socks and some dressy shorts for winter or a long sleeved dress and knee high socks....It's a break from typical leggings. I have been getting bored dressing leggings all the time with boots so I thought I would pick up some socks and I also got a neck-high velvet dress. I just love the velvet style that is in right now. So cute. We also went and stopped at Sees Candies. I do not like chocolate typically, but I love peanut butter chocolate things and Mint Chocolate things so I opted for some peanut butter cups and Zack got a Bordeaux. 

Above are some cute cable socks similar to a pair I got. I also got a pair with some buttons on the side.... What are some alternatives to pants and leggings you guys like to wear during the Holiday season. 

Have a great night,

Small Business Saturday and Makeup Look From Last Night

Last night was "Puttin' on the Glitz" it is an event that goes on in my hometown every year. The stores stay open late and there are horse carriage rides for the kids and the whole street is decked out in Christmas decor. It is a great way to kick off the holiday season. It was also small business saturday yesterday so I was working with my mom in her boutique supporting her last night!

We are happy to be home from Kauai and even happier to be getting ready to celebrate Christmas!

So for this look here is what I used:

Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Sand Beige and Golden Beige (I have to check on the color of the second one I used, not 100% sure its Golden Beige)

Mac Pro Longwear Concealer in NC20

Nars Powder in Beach to set foundation

Rimmel Stay Matte in 03 and 01 for oily areas

Mac Blush in Melba

Nars Bronzer in Laguna

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette for eyes

Maybelline Colossal Mascara on upper lashes

Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara Waterproof on bottom lashes 

Stila Waterproof Black Eyeliner Pen on upper lash line

Nars Highlighter in Albatross 

Bare Minerals Well Rested Powder lightly dusted under eyes and around mouth

Chanel Lipstick in Tobago Aqualumiere 

In the first picture you can see I just styled my hair in loose waves I made with my flat-iron and it gave me my relaxed, casual, loose curls. 

I wore a black tank top, a hooded flannel underneath my black military-styled jacket, a pair of tight skinny blue jeans, knee high socks and a pair of black knee high boots from Steve Madden that I have had for years that I absolutely love .

My nails are painted a light periwinkle/baby blue color, in Essie Bikini so Teeny. 

I hope you all had an amazing Saturday night and if you are a small business owner I hope you had lots of love from your local customers coming out to support you!

Happy first day of December!

Rainy Day Outfit

I know this is not what you would expect to see for a rainy day outfit. You might expect to see more layers and a coat on top of a bigger coat...but living in San Diego and it being October, our rainy days are not freezing, yes they are cold, but I could survive without all the layers. Once we hit November and December, forget it, I will be layering coat over coat over trench coat. But for now, this is what I like to wear when it starts to drizzle :)

I always love to wear a pair of skinny jeans when it is raining because you do not have to worry about dragging the backs of the jeans through the puddles....I know you have felt that soggy fabric right by your ankle blahhh worst feeling it just sits there, damp, cold, and heavy. 

I love my bright red rainboots that I have. I feel like theyre festive for the colder holiday months and it is a nice change from black. 

A graphic tee is an easy way to liven up a dark outfit, layer it with an oatmeal colored cardigan and an infinity scarf and you have one cozy & comfortable outfit for those drizzly days:)!

Summer to Fall Clothes

With school starting back up again on Wednesday I plan on transitioning my Summer clothes into my Fall outfits by incorporating a few pieces here and there. I will always love my cardigans and my huge cozy sweaters paired with boots or even paired with a tank top and shorts. I usually like to keep it simple and cozy for Fall. Florals, flannels, leather, denim and more:)
